Upload a Video through a Presentation Profile
Use the Add Content icon in the menu bar to upload a video through a Presentation Profile. You must have video upload permissions for this icon to be present and your Presentation Profile must be set up first.

To upload a video through a Presentation Profile:1. Click the Add Content icon in the menu bar.
2. Click the Add URLs tab.
3. Specify Presentation Profile in the Create Using dropdown option.
○Keep in mind that the streams specified in the profile may be controlled by Rev’s zone logic as far as who may view the video.
4. Enter the Link to URL address in the Web Address field. Note: Only RTP/RTSP unicast/multicast (H.264 encoding) streams may be used for videos to be streamed to STBs.
5. Select Live or VOD as the Video Type.
6. Select the Encoding Type.
7. Click the Add button to save the link.
Tip: Videos with a Video Type of Live will appear in the TV Channel slider on the Home Page. |
8. Your most recent uploads will remain visible in the dropdown. Click See all uploads to view them (or click the video title to go to the Video Player page). Click Clear completed to clear the recent uploads.
9. Video uploads are automatically set to Inactive status by default.
10. Use the settings button to modify who may access the video, expiration dates, categories, and so forth. See: Video Settings.
11. You may also edit the video to add chapters and presentation slides if desired. See: Edit a Video Upload
Note: URL linked videos will not have an actual file saved to the system. Instead, the file will play from the source of the URL that is provided. The linked videos will have the same features of videos that are uploaded to the system however, such as comments, ratings, and so forth. By default, all uploaded video as well as video URLs (live and VOD) and recorded Webcasts are set to inactive status and must be manually activated. This allows you to control when videos are available for general viewing so that video settings such as thumbnails, categories, access controls, and so forth may be put in place before allowing your audience to view them. |
